Now i think Greg has every right to stick a fork in the pig as many times as he wants. Lord knows he suffered greatly at the hands of the Armstrong Ponzi scheme. But -- if it turns out that GL himself engaged in some leveling of the field, it certainly makes for one very smelly pile of $hit.

I watched the interview online. The whole thing was only 5 minutes. I've always respected LeMond as a cyclist. I think he just needs to let this thing alone. He obviously does not like Armstrong, never has, never will. go back to your bike business and stay out of it.

Uhm, I believe that several boys from "back in the day" have said that if GL was indeed clean, he was the only one. Was he so talented and/or had such a high moral compass that he was the only one who wasn't doing the juice of the day? Was it Parkin who said "it wasn't doping, it was survival"? It would be cool if GL didn't stick a needle in his skin but the idea is pretty unrealistic.

I agree with LSD -- there are degrees of wrongdoing and in LA's case - for me anyway - his least egregious offense is blood doping and epo use. If he had only done that and hadnt been such a pathologic liar prick things would be different, imo. His bigger offenses are the aggressive misrepresentation to the world and most especially the cancer community. Equally bad was the aggressive bullying of anyone and everyone who dared to question his veracity. The scale of the bluster and propagandizing of the lie just elevate him to Madoff-levels of depravity: the books, the lying to his kids about his "career" as a clean rider who just trained harder and wanted it more than everyone else (OK that last one might actually be true) - but at what cost? -- the ruining of other people's careers and reputations, the lying under oath to gain the bonus payouts -- just mind boggling even as a write this and re-remember the whole spectrum of his truly criminal behavior it makes me pissed-off all over. And I wasnt even anywhere near the pro-cycling inner circle -- I can just imagine how utterly incensed LeMond was and obviously still is. And he is completely justified in everything he said in that interview.
